SM Energy Completes Semi-Annual Redetermination of Credit Facility

DENVER–(BUSINESS WIRE)–SM Energy Company (NYSE: SM) announces that it has completed the semi-annual redetermination of its borrowing base under its senior secured revolving credit facility. The borrowing base was reduced to $2.0 billion from $2.4 billion. This expected reduction was primarily the result of the Company’s sale of Mid-Continent assets for approximately $324 million, completed in the second quarter of 2015, plus adjustments consistent with lower commodity prices. The Company has elected to leave the commitments from the bank group unchanged at $1.5 billion. As of the end of the third quarter of 2015, approximately $184 million was drawn on the credit facility.
